About Hoofmeisie
A South African family comedy about three primary school girls and their obsessed mothers who share the same desire: for their girls to become Head Girl of their junior school. When things go badly for one of them, she becomes mean in her attempts to win, but after sacrificing the good qualities in her personality she finally learns what a true leader should be.
Directed by Morné du Toit, Hoofmeisie leans on a strong ensemble — Mish'a el de Beer, Ruan Wessels, Annemicke Kotze — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2011.
